David Écija received a PhD degree in Physics from UAM, with a work on self-assembly of nanostructures on surfaces. He was awarded a Marie Curie Intra European Fellowship and moved to Prof. Barth ́s group at the Technical University of Munich, where he carried out a four-year stay working on functional molecular nanoarchitectures on surfaces amenable to scanning probe microscopies. In January 2014 he joined IMDEA Nanoscience as Researcher and “Ramon y Cajal” fellow.

Research Lines

We are an enthusiastic team of scientists focused on the study of physical-chemistry and molecular nano- science at interfaces. To this aim we combine state-of-the-art scanning probe microscopies, photoelectron and optical spectroscopies with density functional calculations. Our research lines include:
